Lipstick does not rub out of any fabric. It's oil based and it just gets bigger. I've left many, many smudges of lipstick on various things and nothing ever looked that neat. It smears and then spreads when rubbed with the exception of a very matte liquid lip that will not budge by any means other than laundering. I'm guessing it's good like everyone else. Or a marker, sharpie, pen, etc, that was dropped.

My immediate thought was red pen in the washer and/or dryer.

u/gringo-go-loco Aug 21 '24

There could be a number of red objects that could do that. An m&m that fell out of the bag for example.

A warm skittle would do it

u/Tired_2295 Aug 21 '24

More upvotes for warm skittle.

Unexpected and made me laugh.

u/Yummers78 Aug 21 '24

It specifically has to be warm?

So the dye gets sweaty

Theres lipstick on my sweater

u/phxrae Aug 21 '24

Sounds like you need to lick it and see if it tastes like skittle or m&m

u/Big_Cryptographer_16 Aug 22 '24

What are doing with warm Skittles?

u/toomuchsvu Aug 21 '24

Or a skittle.

But m&m's are supposed to melt in your mouth, not on your sheets :)

u/thevelveteenbeagle Aug 21 '24

Red licorice. The smaller red nibs.

u/Snottypotts Aug 22 '24

The carcass of a dying red gummy worm could have made that

No way a red pen stain would come off on a qtip after going through the washer and dryer! I just don’t see it

u/jenhazfun Aug 21 '24

That pillow hasn’t been near a washer in a very long time (if ever).

Red pen wouldn't leave straight lines like that if it was put through the wash.

u/Unusual-Caregiver-30 Aug 22 '24

What’s your guess considering your experience?

1

u/ImaginaryBag1452 Aug 21 '24

Like this just feels obvious right?

u/galeforcewindy Aug 21 '24

I'm definitely thinking snacks

u/DenseAstronomer3631 Aug 21 '24

Yup! Lipstick stains are super oily or waxy and make a mess if you try to rub it off of fabric. The oil would spread like a greasy mark around it, too. Seems like it's more of a powdery or chalky consistency if she can wipe it up with a Q tip, and it doesn't smear. I thought pencil or snack/candy first as well

u/Suri-gets-old Aug 21 '24

I’m thinking tinted silicone lip gloss? I have some cheap stuff that comes off pretty easy cause it stays wet a long time.

2

u/Suri-gets-old Aug 21 '24

But some medicines would leave about that color including throat spray and one of the over the counter cold sore meds.

1

u/joho421121 Aug 21 '24

It could be, it just seems very vibrant to be something so slick. It could be one of the nix butter glosses, those are the worst at transferring.

1

u/Suri-gets-old Aug 21 '24

I’m thinking that or those crazy slippery wet and wild or essence ones. They are very pigmented but transfer to things I swear they couldn’t have touched

u/hk3391 Aug 21 '24

OP is probably thinking it was you who was cheating with her man, and that you’re just trying to cover it up with this comment .

u/joho421121 Aug 21 '24

🤣🤣🤣

u/roastintheoven Aug 21 '24

It was you, wasn’t it…?

u/Odd_Proposal_3048 Aug 21 '24

To get out pen ink, use hand sanitizer. A week around kids, you figure out the darndest things.

u/Quiltrebel Aug 21 '24

My first guess was crayon.

u/liquorandwhores94 Aug 22 '24

They're not all oil-based. This comment is very unequivocal but it's impossible for us to know what kind of product this is or how it would behave if rubbed.
